Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0226336A2] Port wine stain treatment apparatus includes a pad 2 supporting a plurality of diamond tipped needles 14. The tip 16 of each needle is supplied with laser radiation and the tip acts to scatter laser radiation sideways. Thus, when the pad 2 is applied to the skin, the tips 16 penetrate the skin and when laser radiation is supplied the tips 16 create a laminar radiation profile located below and spaced from the skin surface.In this manner, the cause of the port wine stain can be treated without the danger of disfiguring or scarring the skin surface above the stain.
